The Blind Leading the Blind - TBCF - Dulce Secrets and FBD - Also New From blackLiquid and Lyrical Bizarre

Loads of people love to give advice. They'll offer it, and even if you turn it down, it's highly likely they'll give it just the same. I think the intensity of the relationship between me and whoever it is offering the advice helps me measure how valued their words might or might not be.

About 12 years ago, I lived 9 houses down from my parents. It was a deliberate move because her health issues were more than my father to manage alone. This means I visited often, and in those visits, no matter how well or unwell she was, mother always offered her opinion and advice.

Until I was in my mid 20s, I was not fond of mother, and her advice, no matter how wise, had to float into my brain pass all of those defense mechanisms I'd built over the years. But by the time I moved to live near her, I realized many of the things she shared had merit. I listened.

I've met many people online. My exposure to people has been deliberately broad, and deliberately open minded. I accept lifestyle choices, whatever you choose, and certainly would not avoid friendship with anyone based on what some might consider taboo choices. You be you. I'll enjoy your company.

It really never mattered what role-play or job I've chosen, there have been people in every setting who had a lot to share, their opinion, their advice, their help. Unfortunately, not all advice comes with equal measure. People share misleading advice that confuses things more than helping them.

I have found no difference in my modeling journey. Former models, current models, designers, agencies... they all have points of view, advice to share, and believe honestly that what they're sharing has value. Sometimes, the advice helped me take the next big step. Sometimes it felt more like the blind leading the blind. I try to discern useful things and carefully step around things not quite on target.

Excellent style and I love the use of the blindfold! I think the thing about advice is its not one size fits all. There is a cow in SL who gives advice but I hope all know it is not one size fits all by any means. I write more to sort myself out than anyone else, if it turns out to be helpful to another thats a bonus. Excellent post Caryn, I truly enjoy your friendship, your blog, and your modeling style! :**** ♥♥

Thank you. And I do know the topic itself, when to take advice and how seriously I must follow it has to shift daily as new things occur in my life that guide me down new paths. I don't even stay one size fits all, so I get it when the people around me do much the same or feel much the same.
